than alive. Nixon endeavored to rally
Quick and offered to send for his wife and
children, who were at New Brunswick.

tired Of life and want TO die" A few minutes

port Of a revolver, the sound coming from
the upper part Of the house. Fastening up
the stairs and into Quick's room, Nixon was
Mortified upon beholding the latter lying

domestic iihiculty, and becoming melsl-
choly, had rnded his trouble by taking his
life
